Cat People Double Feature at Scarecrow Video

As part of a series of excellent horror films featured this month on their Screening Room calendar, this Wednesday only Scarecrow Video presents a double feature of Val Lewton classics. The original 1942 Cat People, directed by Jacques Tourneur, is one of the great horror films of the studio era, while 1944’s sequel, The Curse of the Cat People, directed by Robert Wise, is something altogether singular, less a horror film than a meditation on the ways children cope with trauma and loss, a haunted fable and arguably the best film Wise ever made.
